Snake Doctor Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 He was not qualified and will be a free agent. He did not play well when he was here so it looks like his days in Vancouver are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorrcoq Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 He wasn't really that bad guys, I dont know what all the complainers are talking about. He didnt really get much of a chance even. I would prefer him in the line up instead of guys like Alberts or Rome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsasaki Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 well then I'm wondering why they had him play all those games if they were gonna let him walk? And I think he does have some upside, despite what everyone says. Yell at me if you want. I thought we were going to sign him and let him spend a year or two in the minors, that would've been best for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazz Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 A pick instead of Gragnani in the Kassian/Hodgson trade since they obviously saw him as having little to no value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Light Racicot Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hes not qualified to be in the NHL if you ask me. However; If possible, I think they should hang onto him to play in their farm system. Apparently he was a PPG guy at that level. Thats fairly unique. But I think he would have to hone his defensive game before making the next jump, which would be a daunting task from what I have seen, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Gragnani will find an NHL team this offseason no doubt. Given the right opportunity ( as with any player ) he will be a servicable player in the NHL and likely put up points against Vancouver lol. He could very well be a Power play specialist type player in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshinefe Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I didn't really like what I saw from this guy; our team needs to get better on D, not crappier, and his defensive game seemed pretty bad. I'd much prefer we stick with Tanev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 What many people fail to realize is that Gragnani only got some NHL time/experience with the Sabres last season because of the injury filled 2011-2012 season that the Sabres had. These are two separate posts here in the Canuck's forums that I made in April about MAG: Gragnani- In my opinion he will not be a part of the Canuck's organization for more than another year or two. The Canucks are just too good of a team for him to ever crack the lineup in any meaningful way. -------------------- .... MAG will never be more than average. That's where the 'nucks fans should be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Big mistake, this guy may have looked bad but he's got tremendous offensive upside. Give him a season in the AHL to develop and he could have been a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
